I read every message. Suggestions for new calculators and guide topics are especially welcome — they’re how the site grows.
Reply time depends on how many messages are waiting, but you’ll usually hear back within a few days.
If you’re a journalist or writing a story
I’m happy to comment or provide data, and I reply fast — usually the same day. If you have a deadline, say so in the first line and I’ll treat it as one.
Things I can actually speak to, because I have had to work them out rather than read them off a page:
- Grading scales that are not the American 4.0. I came to Canada from Nepal and had to learn a second system while learning the language, so I know what it is to hold two transcripts and two sets of rules at once. The site now documents the NEB four-point scale, India’s CBSE and CGPA systems, ECTS, UK, Australia, Nigeria and the Bangladesh HSC five-point scale with its 4th-subject rule.
- Why “CGPA to percentage” has no single answer. There are at least five published rules and they disagree by enough to change an application. I built a calculator that shows the disagreement instead of picking one. Good story angle, because the honest answer is “ask your registrar” and most sites pretend otherwise.
- Credit weighting. Why the same six courses produce different averages on different systems, and what a weighted GPA actually claims.
- ECTS, specifically. That the letters are relative to your cohort rather than fixed percentage cuts, that the 2009 and 2015 Guides retired the old A–E scales in favour of published distribution tables, and that most universities have never done that. Background and a usable quote.
- Biology, as a student. Genetics, microbiology, ecology and population biology — the science tools here came out of problem sets I had already done by hand.
What I am: a third-year Biology major at Algoma University, and the person who built and maintains this site. More about me here.
What I am not: a professor, an admissions officer, or affiliated with any university. This site is independent and not connected to Algoma, so I can only speak to how these systems work in practice, not to official policy. If a story needs an official quote from a real institution, I’d rather point you to the right office than improvise one.
One thing worth saying up front: every conversion on this site is an estimate. Institutions change their rules and there is no single global standard for any of this. If a number I have given you is wrong, tell me and I will fix the page and tell you when it is corrected.
